The layoff was a huge botch. Apparently fed-ex started delivering "send back your laptop" labels yesterday. So the company did *something* which turned out to be sending out emails to work and private emails. I still have no clear, definitive statement of my status. Only a lot of "they told people on PTO, so you are very likely safe" messages.
I did what I do. I logged onto work. I co-lead the official DEI&B trans space. I reached out to peers and parents there. Most of them have my cell anyway. I reached out in our private trans/nb space as well. Doing for others makes sense for me. It fills a hole.
like I said, at a moment in my own story I needed everything to change, I told people at work who I am and everything changed. In part I joined the speaking bureau I am in because of my peers at work and manager. The last in person conversation I had with my boss was last week. I told him on of my he is the basis of one of my talks-- "the twelve words my manager said to me that changed my life". there is a void. I am correspondingly sad.
Edit-- for atlassian/JIRA users, I co-own our scrum board. I logged on to check it. I notice anyone effected is already locked out of the board. English translation? the accounts that matter are disabled. My accounts are not disabled. I think I might still be employed.
Another Edit-- well, apparently a mass email went out last night. "everyone effected knows unless you have a pending leave of absence". that'd be me. I seriously think I am effed.
